Product Description

PlayStation3 is the only gaming machine that delivers a complete high-definition entertainment system with a built-in Blu-ray player, hard drive, Wi-Fi, and full range of multi-media capabilities. Now the PlayStation3 Complete Entertainment Bundle comes with a 30-day PlayStation Plus Membership and two games, LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition and Rachet and Clank: All 4 One for just $199.99.

From the Manufacturer

The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is the next stage in the evolution of Sony's console gaming powerhouse. Loaded with a mix of multimedia features and functions available on earlier PlayStation 3 models, as well as a series of new advancements and refinements, the PlayStation 3 160GB system is destined to push the envelope in the realm of Next-Generation entertainment.

What's Under the Hood As with previous models, the PlayStation 3 160GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 160GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 160GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 160GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike other models of the PlayStation 3, the 160GB system does not offer backwards compatibility.

Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format, which gives you the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system's processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games, and other multimedia content. However, this does not mean that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs - it also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE). This means that you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. Of course, PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they can download games, game demos, movies, and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments and explore dedicated game spaces.

Sensational Controller The Dualshock 3 wireless controller(one controller) included with The PlayStation 3 160GB system provides the most intuitive gameplay experience, with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion-sensing technology. Each hit, crash, and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. It can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user’s body. Dualshock 3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller’s detachable USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller when connected to the PlayStation 3. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the Dualshock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available on the PlayStation 3 system.

Synch with Your Other Sony HDMI Devices The PlayStation 3 160GB system features HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality. Bravia Synch allows connectivity between Sony HDMI products without having to utilize multiple remote controls. This means that with the push of one button, users can control compliant Sony devices connected to your PS3 via HDMI cable.

What's in The Box:

New slimmer and lighter PS3 system with a 160 GB HDD, Internet-ready built-in Wi-Fi, 2 USB ports and HDMI + Bravia Synch output for 1080p resolution and connectivity between other Sony HDMI products.

This was a great deal at the price of $199 for a 160GB PS3, LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition, and Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One. The console alone currently retails for $249. For what it was, 5 stars easy.

Just a warning to anyone looking at this post-Black Friday $199 sale. Beware of the $400 price tags. This is not worth $400+ or anything else over $350.

Console MSRP: $249Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One: $39LittleBigPlanet 2: Special Edition: $59 MSRP (check the New section for many selling at ~34)

So grand total: Aprox. $325 of real-world value here. Don't get screwed over by paying $400+.

This was by far the "worst" black friday shopping experience ever. I hated waiting at home, watching movies, sitting in my PJ's, and drinking a glass of wine while waiting for this deal to finally appear. I'm 100% sure I would've had more fun out in the cold, standing for hours on end, and fighting tooth and nail to get this deal... and pay tax.

Decided to get my own PS3 about one year ago from Amazon. Best decision in my life, even paying $299 and no extra content.Now take away $100 from the price, and add $100 to the content, and that's what I call a Black Friday Deal.

Lets talk about the games Both of them are great and prefect to start playing on a PS3.Little Big Planet 2 will somehow always make you laugh, and is a great game for parties, on the other side Ratchet and Clank is an amazing single-player game, beautiful graphics, cool gimmicks and a nice fitting story.If you don't like this games just because there is no blood in them... come on, it's still cheaper than the regular version... sell the games... get the ones you like... I play shooters, action games and all tipe of "hardcore" games... that revolve around violence... yeah, they are cool, but it doesn't mean that I can't relax and enjoy a nice game, alone or with my family...it has nothing to do with it been a "bundle for kids"... this a bundle for people that enjoy games... so lets enjoy the games.

The picture shows the vertical stand on the PS3.... but there's nothing about it on the description... hopefully is in there.

To any parent buying this as a Christmas gift.... regardless of you having an only child....get a second controller! Little Big Planet is so much fun to play with somebody else! maybe a friend, maybe you can join your kid for a nice playing time! and you can also consider getting and HDMI cable for Blu-Ray movies! everybody can find something to have fun with on a PS3!

I am bedridden right now on dialysis so all of my shopping has to be at the mercy of the online merchants. THANK YOU Amazon for offering the only thing my children want for Christmas at an affordable price and without my having to stand in line, crowds with germs, in the cold, etc. I'm have been a faithful Amazon shopper since you launched and will continue to be so!!

Will update this review once the item actually arrives and I can truly review it :)

This is an amazing buy for those of us who have waited to purchase a PS3 console. It is worth every penny of the $199 price tag. Besides the console and a wireless controller it includes 2 of the best games offered anywhere this year:

1) Little Big Planet 2: Special Edition game is the SPECIAL EDITION(released Nov 2011) of the hugely popular and highly rated game. It is currently selling for $55 and includes extras: It is PlayStation Move enabled, has new levels and costumes, 10 new storyline levels and 7 mini-games from Disney / Pixar's Toy Story and "Rise of the Cakeling. It has tons of new costumes to customize your Sackboy. It also includes "Move Paint" and "Ingenious Tools". You can play online or offline with up to 4 players. All big pluses.

2) The new Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One which was just released in Oct. 2011 and although it is getting mixed reviews it is currently selling for $52. So you can either keep this game, give it to someone else, or sell it. Win-Win either way.

This bundle is the new PS3 CECH-3000 series console which is an update of the CECH 2500 series. The differences are in the details under the hood of the unit. A link to the details of what this really means is in the FIRST COMMENT of this review. Many feel this model is inferior to the previous models, but that is still being debated and nothing is proven yet. There are pro's and con's to the upgrade. Sony always stands behind their products so this is really not a matter for any great concern.(I just mention it because I'm aware of it)

This bundle includes a great choice of games; both are good for kids and adults alike. You may need to pick up a second controller so more than one person can play at a time, but I expect if you watch for it, you will see these on sale before the holidays. If you are able to still get one of these Black Friday Bundles for $199 anywhere, jump on it(or even $249). This was a great deal! When trying to find a good deal on this after Black Friday you should be comparing it to the Xbox 360 250GB Holiday Value Bundle to figure out if you're getting a fair price.

Comment 1: Besides playing games, the PS3 also plays DVD's and Blu-rays on your TV. It is rated as one of the top blu-ray players you can buy. You can also use it to steam movies from Netflix, Hulu Plus, CinemaNow, and VUDU (it will not play movies from Amazon Video on demand). It can even be used to store music and movies you own.

Comment 2: You will also need an HDMI($6-$10) cable to connect the PS3 to your HDTV for the clearest picture. This is the best way to connect, but make sure your TV has HDMI input before buying one. If you can't use HDMI, for the best picture you will want to purchase the 5 cable component video cables.Read more ›

I guess I was a lucky one, I saw the deal yesterday and I was able to preorder it with Amazon and it was shipped today. Unfortunately my old PS3 motor storm bundle from 2008 died last Sunday. A guy offered me to repair it for $120, I said thanks but no thanks, I knew black Friday was really close, so I said I'd wait for the PS3 black Friday bundle, every year comes with 2 ps3 games, I thought maybe this year would be available for about $250-$300.

It was really surprising to check a PS3 with 2 games for only $199.99, I said WOW... (I recall when I bought my 1st PS3 for only $599.99 LOL).

The good things I see here are:* Cost saving PS3, about %34 more energy efficient in comparison with the older models* I can use the bravia sync feature with this model, cool.* 2 2011 games...nice and even if you don't like those games...well you can sell them to your friends or now you have 2 perfect Christmas gifts at "no cost" for your family and friends.* 30 days of free Playstation Plus, and if you already have that benefit you extend your current subscription.

This is a great deal from Sony, for people who don't own a PS3... this is your chance, for people who their PS3 died (such as mine)...what are you waiting for?, for people who would like an extra PS3... Even for people who would like a Blu-ray player with "video gaming capabilities".
